Description

Grid Nav allows you to obtain GPS location data in angular geographic coordinates and in Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) format, and is able to be shared. Perfect for land navigation.

Features:-Displays current location in decimal and MGRS format along with accuracy reading, number of GPS satellites seen, altitude, course and speed.

-Rangefinder allows you to find approximate distance to an object based on angular difference.

-Converter converts coordinates between degrees and DMS and UTM and MGRS

-Show information in Imperial (feet/mph) or metric (meters/kph)

Note: This app is only as accurate as your device's sensors. Most device compasses are very inaccurate, causing poor rangefinder performance. DO NOT USE THIS APP IN LIFE CRITICAL SITUATIONS. Use at your own risk. Always have a backup.

excellent Turned it on for the first time in a hotel room, and it had my coordinates in perfect accuracy, while stating it was seeing 11 satellites. What is most shocking, really, is that this information wasn't already available to the user of a phone with GPS - if the phone had always been reading satellites and calculating position, why wasn't that information available to the user? Without that info, you could only previously see your position in an urban area (street maps).

major problems only converts one way (can't do mgrs-&gt;geo etc). page swiping doesn't work reliably and breaks back button. why the hell would anyone buy the ad-free version of this garbage?

If you only need to know where you are "ish" its still not very good at that Grid accuracy +/- 14,786 feet! Well at least I'll know what state I'm in? ¿

Hmm Jury's still out. Sometimes it's on point, others, and they are rare it has been off by 3 grid squares. Still like the software, but I always have somebody double check with me when appropriate.

EXCUSE ME.
Why does it need my phone ID and full access to internet?
Apart from that it looks promising.

Cross referenced it with my map and grid coordinates of my known location and it was spot on. Perfect for miltary. Only problem is slow tracking.

Disfunctional I gave it an hour to update and it just sat there. I had my device location on and the app saw 23 satelights. I un/reinstalled twice with the same results. Galaxys5, android kitkat OS fully updated.

Great free app I was looking for an app to help me approximate a parcel of land. Working great right now, seeing as many as 12 satellites. Hope the trees aren't too thick on the parcel I plan to check.
